Looks like Lordi’s upcoming album (still untitled) will be released on 20 October 2008 internationally, and 28 October 2008 in North America. No new songs to listen to yet, but I’m sure the new album will be just as awesome as the last one!

Apocalyptica wins at Metal Hammer Awards
What a great night it was at Metal Hammer’s ‘Golden Gods Awards’ in London, England!
Fantastic bands - Disturbed, In Flames, Children Of Bodom and Testament - all performing live!
We meet some long time friends and having a blast at the after show party!
On top we are very proud to finally win ‘best breakthrough artist’ award at the award show.
OK - we’re touring since 12 years and did 6 albums - but the time has come to finally break through.
MANY MANY thanks to all of you - you were the ones who voted for this.

Here is Perttu’s response:
Apocalyptica is victorious! 
yes…
we came,saw…and BROKE THROUGH!!!
hehe…let’s say,finally,after 12 years of existence and insanely hard work..it’s funny,and even strange that we get such an award as a “breakthrough artist” in Metal Hammer awards…
BUT,ofcourse it warms our hearts…especially because it is happening in UK(which in fact is kind of a new market for us)
and BECAUSE the award has been voted by the audience and in between such a great other nominees!
so…we’ll enjoy this moment very lots because it’s anyhow the first time we truly WIN anything outside Finland..and hehe…yes.
we are also so boring fellas that whenever there is a slightest reason to open a bottle of champaigne and lit a fine cigar.we need to use those situations.
(hmm…maybe once in every second year) :p
So…Thanks for EVERYBODY involved,AND if this means that Apo truly did anything-broke through or broke out…
it is YOU who deserve the price,without you as the partners in crime-we would be nothing else than bunch of idiots playing some crap with some strange instruments.
(hmm…that describes our band pretty well actually..)
but..
it’s nice to see and notice that now we are bunch of idiots who are playing some crap with some strange instruments AND there are some strange people who enjoy it in some perverted way!!! YEAH!
;P
see you soon our beloved fans and followers!
let us all enjoy the summer and the festivals…

Private Line has cancelled their appearance at Valtarock in Harjavalta, Finland on the 7th of June. This appears to be the result of some kind of emergency.
